Matador Instrumental Music Updates

DIRECTOR’S NOTES

Please encourage your student to make practice a part of their daily routine – learning an instrument is like training for a sport or a marathon–it takes time and regular practice in order to see results. It is better to practice for 15-20 minutes each day, than for two hours in one sitting.

Loara Band Review Wrap Up – I am very proud of your performance on Saturday! Your performance was great, especially for our first time out. Our goal is to improve our score at our next competition, at Baldwin Park. Thank you to all of our parent volunteers and supporters – they day went by very smoothly.

Spread the word! Come out to support BYEU at Islands! BYEU will receive 20% from all orders from 4:00-10:00 p.m. including take out and alcohol purchases. Flyer (attached) must be shown either on paper or digital (show it on your phone). See you there!
